Experience

Industrial machine learning, edge vision and IoT since 2022, most recently on-prem GenAI at QED Analyticals.

  1. Jul 2026 – now

    Current role

    Senior AI Engineer

    QED Analyticals, Delhi, India · Hybrid

    AI Infrastructure, GenAI Platforms, Production Recovery

    • Set up and clustered two NVIDIA DGX Spark nodes to host and serve models on-prem, including air-gapped workloads.
    • Built a GenAI platform end to end on FastAPI, React 19, Neo4j and ChromaDB: hybrid GraphRAG retrieval, answers streamed over SSE, and multimodal OCR pipelines.
    • Brought a critical offline platform on RHEL and Docker Swarm back to life: upgraded 15+ microservices, then ran a PostgreSQL disaster recovery, salvaging data from a replica, rebuilding the corrupted primary and finishing the migration.

  2. Nov 2024 – Jul 2026

    AI Engineer

    QED Analyticals, Delhi, India · Hybrid

    Industrial AI, Optimization, Edge Computer Vision

    • Rewrote a genetic algorithm for coal-blend optimization to score the whole population in one vectorized pass, cutting a run from 5 hours to under 2 minutes (150x).
    • Built a thermal-video pipeline that measures hot sinter height at the discharge end: an industrial digital twin operators use to tune fuel rates in real time.
    • Built and deployed multi-regression models predicting Internal Return Fines (IRF) and Blast Furnace Return Fines (BFRF) from live process data on a PI Server.
    • Deployed a naval ship identification system on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin: YOLO finds the ship and OCR reads its hull number, at 92% accuracy in the field.

    System Software Engineer

    Krishworks Technology & Research Labs, Bengaluru, India

    IoT Infrastructure, Edge AI, Cloud OTA

    • Designed the AWS IoT backend, on IoT Core, Lambda, RDS and S3, that onboards devices and ships them over-the-air firmware updates.
    • Built a Raspberry Pi telematics unit that reads a vehicle's OBD-II port and GPS and reports live over 4G.
    • Built a hotspot/coldspot detection system using a U-Net segmentation model with a React and Tailwind CSS front end.
    • Wrote a Samsung SmartThings Edge driver with a custom webhook integration.

    Project Lead

    County of Simcoe, Simcoe County, Canada

    Deep Learning, Spatial Simulation, Leadership

    • Led a team of three building an emergency dispatch simulator, with LSTM networks forecasting where calls would come from.
    • Split the county into each station's nearest-coverage zone with dynamic Voronoi partitioning, to route ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
    • Gathered requirements from the county's emergency staff, so the simulation matched how dispatch actually runs.
